Q.

Position vector of a particle as a function of time is given by R=(asinωt)i^+(acosωt)j^+bsinω0tk^

Detailed Solution

(a) The observer is moving in xy plane with his position vector changing with time as
R=(asinωt)i^+(acosωt)j^
This is a circle with radius a. Angular speed of the observer is ω and his linear speed is v = aω.
He finds that the particle oscillates along z direction with angular frequency = ω0.
(b) Time period of rotation of the particle is
T0=2πω0s=v.T0=2πaωω0
